Subfields


$1 Sort indicator (O;NR)
A two-digit numeral indicating the order of repeated fields.

$6 Source file reference (NR)
This subfield must not be input manually, it is added in an automated updating process only and shall be removed after manual amendment of the record.

$a Host name (O;R)
e.g. www.cerl.org

$e Nonpublic note (O;NR)
This note is visible only in the tagged display of the record.

$g Uniform Resource Name (O;NR)
The URN, which provides a globally unique location independent identifier.

$h Processor of request (A;NR)
The username, or processor of the request; generally the data which precedes the at sign (“@”) in the host address.

$n Plain name of host as given in $a (O;NR)
e.g. Consortium of European Research Libraries, London

$u Uniform Resource Locator (O;NR)
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL), which provides electronic access data in a standard syntax. Instead of the URL leading up to the online resource you may file here the URL of the resolution service for the URN given in $g. In this case the URN is to be repeated as last part of the URL.

$y Access method (A;NR)
The access method when the first indicator position contains value 7 (Method specified in subfield $y). This subfield may include access methods other than the main TCP/IP protocols specified in the first indicator. The data in this subfield corresponds with the access schemes specified in Uniform Resource Locators (URL) (RFC 1738), a product of the Uniform Resource Identifiers Working Group of the IETF. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains a registry of URL schemes and defines the syntax and use of new schemes.

$8 Language Code (O;R)
Must precede any subfield $z. See the description of numerical subfields.

$z Public note (O;R)
Please use English language for this note.
